PHMSA Announces Pipeline Risk Modeling Workshop

Today DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety
Administration (PHMSA) published a meeting notice in the Federal Register (80 FR
38266-38267) for a risk modeling methodologies workshop to be held in
Washington, DC on September 9th, 2015. The longer than normal
advance notice is due to the fact that PHMSA is also soliciting abstracts from potential
presenters at the workshop on the topic of relevant engineering and technical
modeling considerations related to advancing pipeline risk models, and risk
modeling methodologies used in other non-pipeline applications.

PHMSA is not satisfied that current pipeline risk management
models are adequate to the task of identifying ways to reduce risks. In this request for abstracts
PHMSA is interested in engineering and technical modeling considerations
including;
